Senegalese Education Trust (SeneTrust)
Submitted by programs4africa on Thu, 2011-07-28 15:51
Strengthening the Senegalese Education System
Purpose
The general objectives of SeneTrust are to build a Fund which will:
- Support research;
- Fund pedagogy;
- Fund Academic management;
- and Improve the social life of the students.
Problem
Through Programs for Africa and Freedom Endowment, Phelps Stokes has partnered with The Foundation of the University Cheikh Anta Diop University (FUCAD), which is located in Senegal’s capitol, Dakar. This University has enrolled thousands of students and made information and education available to many Senegalese and West African students. However, this University is in great need of funding for research and for materials necessary for developing a library, curriculum, and much more. SeneTrust is the partnership between Phelps Stokes and FUCAD which will focus on finding funds and support from the Senegalese Diaspora in the US. Their support will cultivate the spirit of solidarity within the university community and its relations with the rest of Academia.
